A 3/4 HP 1725 RPM motor has been fine on my 10" South Bend.


Need to do my math.
Since I'm living in a part of Europa that uses 50Hz my motor is a 1380 rpm.
But I also plan to replace the pulley so I think it will work fine.
The original pylley seems to be 53mm.
My replacement will be either 70mm or 93mm.
